I think I got it...here in lovely MN we just got over 6in of snow so the heater was keeping up more than normal, pretty sure he felt no need to bask, or move for that matter. Thanks for easing my mind, I really try to suppress the paranoia, but it occasionally gets the best of me haha. As a...
On at 7:30 off at 6:30...he wasn't sleeping, just sitting maybe inches of where he usually sleeps. He seemed awake and aware, even snatching crix out of my hand. On a side note I checked the citie's water quality and it seems really good. Other side note, the vertical branches are bamboo from...
Hey guys, thought we could start from this and go from there!?
Your Chameleon - Male panther, 7 months old, 1.5 months in my care
Handling - Maybe 1-2 times a week ( mostly to get from free range tree to cage)
Feeding - Apx 6-8 large crix/day plus a super every other day. Feeders gutloaded...
Thanks for the tip! I never really time the misting exactly, but I would guess 2-3 mins...I will shoot for longer times tomorrow. That shed on his eye has got to be buggin him.
Yes he does! He had a lot more chams available than were noted on his site, I got a ton of pics and he sent me the exact one that I wanted. My brother and I combined orders..he got a 3 mo slick baby...sooo cute! Eric has been a great help, and also very patient with a couple first time cham...
He's been getting between 2-5 warm mistings a day(apx 2 mins ea), he didn't really care for the water when it wasn't warm...Can't really blame him? Thanks for the quick reply! I guess his eye shed will just anger him for a couple more days :(
Thanks! My girlfriend is from Hawaii, so she may have had a say in the naming of the cham!? You can still see some shed on his eyes. It has been a couple days, but I would imagine it's a tough spot to shed?
Just got my panther in the mail less than a week ago from Eric at chameleons101. His name is Izzy after Israel Kamakawiwoʻole ( Somewhere over the rainbow). He is a 6-7 month old Ballar male, and he's a screamer! Right now he's in my hanging 18x18x30 reptarium, but he's bigger than I thought...
I think obesity will continue to be a problem as long as french fries are considered vegetables in schools around the country!? Seems like a healthy lifestyle, but I would miss bacon too much!
Thanks again! I just finished hot gluing the screen over the vents and placing packing tape along the top of my tubs. Theres soo many great breeders that are sponsers here, but I might try and see what Eric from 101 (I think that's right?) has got coming up. Those fierce babies are looking...
thanks for the quick reply...the drainage is a tilted false bottom made from corrogated plastic with a 1/2 in elbow in the back. Good catch on the dripper. I just went to the local fish store to diy one, but I think I can buy one for less than the parts cost( they only sold valves in packs of...
Greetings from MN everyone ! I have been reading on the forums for a couple months to help me prepare for a future baby panther cham. My enclosure is a 16 x 16 x 30 reptarium with a custom drain system. I have a reptisun 5.0 uvb and 60watt incand. bulb for basking ( steady at 82 deg.) The...
